3 channel amp to power center and rear channels.


All,

Looking for a 3 channel amp to power center and rear channels. My Peachtree grand integrated handles the front mains, b&w 802d. Wyred and D-sonic 3 channel amps look nice, but may be more power than is necessary. I don't think my ears will notice the difference. I like the class d amps but am open to different types. Don't mind getting used gear, some great deals to be had. I see a few offerings in the multichannel listings but would like opinions. Trying to keep it at 2000 or less.

Best,

Patrick

AUDIO REFINEMENT MULTI AMPS (THEY COME IN A 2 CHANNEL; 3 CHANNEL; OR 5 CHANNEL CONFIGURATIONS)

These amps are YBA designed gear with YBA component parts, but assembled in China as a "B" line instead of the very expensive YBA kits assembled in France

Google the reviews ...outstanding with a high build quality

On a personal note, I bought the AR Multi 3 ( 120 watts/channel) myself just for that set-up: drive the center and rear channels.

Highly recommended
Thanks to both of you. The 5 channel idea may not be a bad option. I'll look into the Aragon as well.
The Aragon 8008x3 is a great amp for that purpose. I used it in that configuration for years. You should be able to get one in very nice shape for less than $2000.
If it were me, I wouldn't focus on 3 ch. I'd look at a 5 ch. plenty of good options in that price range. It never hurts to have the spare channels and its easier to sell later if you move to something else.
